Countdown Orewa has around six baskets left, following the supermarket removing plastic bags from its checkouts. A Countdown supermarket is asking customers to return shopping baskets that have walked out the door since it ditched plastic bags.

Countdown Orewa removed single-use plastic bags last month and, since then, has gone from about 200 shopping baskets to around six. "There's no more than 10 left. It's crazy," Countdown Orewa customer service manager Marlene Williams said.

They said the supermarket would continue to supply baskets, but requested customers return their baskets for other shoppers to use. The supermarket now sells reusable bags ranging in price from 15 cents to a dollar. Damaged Countdown brand reusable bags can be replaced with a new one at no cost.
